23 Million

Children are in need of Education

Only 35% of Pakistani girls are literate. The number of children who continue school beyond grade 5 is one of the lowest in Asia. Lack of facilities, economic hardship, social pressure and lack of teacher training are major contributing factors to these circumstances. We use computer technology to entice children to stay in school and teach them critical thinking skills.

40:1 Ratio

A poor teacher-pupil ratio in Nepal & Pakistan

These countries have two of the highest student-teacher ratios in the world. With no formal teacher training, the situation becomes even worse. Children of Tomorrow creates and delivers tailored teacher training programs. It follows a new, modern curriculum, using One Laptop Per Child. Our trainers visit the schools frequently, followed by a close monitoring of teacher and student progress.

62% Children

Continue school beyond age 5

This percentage represents the Nepalese children who are fortunate enough to have any formal education. Nepal has one of the lowest school enrollment rates in the world. 25% of girls have never set foot inside a school, and only 27% of Nepalese women are literate.

75 Laptops

& Teacher training to be provided in Kathmandu

The project under review will have the objective of equipping the school with 75 laptops and providing face-to-face teacher training. All the machines run on solar power, so we are free from depending on grid electricity. Two teacher training sessions - one in spring and one in fall - will ensure the program's continued success.

100 OLPCs

Deployed in rural Pakistan

Orangi town, Sindh, and Pind Malkan, Punjab, both face difficult problems. We donated 100 laptops given to these two schools. The children work with great dedication and guard their laptops with their lives. Since receiving their laptops, student evaluation shows improved decision-making and increased communication. Phonics, math and logic are now serious business.

We partner with non-governmental organizations in developing countries to enhance the educational
and cognitive development of children who are at-risk due to trafficking, poor socioeconomic
status, regional conflict, extremist elements, and gender discrimination.

We achieve this by providing up-to-date technology, teacher training, and a well-rounded
curriculum that includes math, English, science and arts combined with "life skills", which includes
instruction in nutrition, hygiene, finance, environmental issues, vocational training,
multicultural understanding, conflict resolution and more.

At Children of Tomorrow, we believe a well-rounded education is the key to breaking the cycles
of poverty and creating a more empowered and peaceful future for all.

This goal is in line with United Nations Millennium Development Goal 2 – to ensure primary schooling for every boy and girl by 2015.
